Email from old crushes should come with warning labels, or something. Opened my inbox to see a message from the guy I had been flirting with the spring and summer before I met Scott. Involuntary eeee. Turns out his baby sib is pondering Early Decision at Swat and has questions.

Am still a little eee-ish over his inclusion of such statements as "I really wish I'd gotten around to emailing you a long time ago", and, especially foolishly, the fact that we're on the same coast again (he's at Yale for grad, doing nanofabrication, spiffy). Oh well; it will motivate me to write back promptly and be helpful to the sib.

quote of the day

"Is there some ecological advantage to having some people depressed? Depressed people are probably less energetic, less likely to be the ones who go over the hill and explore. Maybe we depressed people provide a counter-balance to the more energetic. Maybe we sometimes survive because we sleep late rather than go out early and get killed."
